Bar compatibility:
There are several types of compression systems for scooter bars. Therefore, it is important when finding a bar for your scooter that you are aware of what type your chosen bar for your scooter is compatible with. Different types of compression systems for scooter bars all have varying advantages.
Bar height:
The total height of the scooter bar. There are many sizes of scooter bars. Whether it should be higher or lower is most of all a matter of taste and what is best for what you want to use your scooter for. This is what the individual rider can best assess and decide for himself.
Bar width:
The total width of the scooter bar. Scooter bars come in many different sizes, heights and widths. Some would prefer to have a wider bar for their scooter, others would prefer a narrower one. Whether it should be one or the other is a matter of taste that the individual rider can assess and decide for himself.
Bar material:
The material scooter bar is made out of. The two most widely used materials for scooters are made aluminum or chromed steel. The good thing about aluminum is that it is not as heavy a material as steel and is still a highly durable material. However, not nearly as strong and durable as chromed steel, which conversely weighs a lot more than aluminum. Trick scooters are most often made of chrome-plated stand, as these kinds of scooters must be able to handle some bumps and punches during the practice of tricks.
Weight:
The total weight of the scooter bar. The weight of the bar depends mostly on the material it is made of. What is typically applicable is that the heavier scooters of, for example, chromed steel, are that they are stronger and more durable. On the other hand, aluminum scooters are significantly lighter.
Outer diameter:
The outer diameter of the bar. The essential thing about the outer diameter of a scooter bar is that it must be able to fit with the front fork and the clamp your scooter is equipped with. If it does not fit, the assembly of your scooter becomes completely impossible, so be sure to check it out before purchasing.
Inner diameter:
The inner diameter of the bar. What applies to the inner diameter of the scooter bar is the very fact that it can fit your scooter's forks and clamp, just like your scooter. That is why it is important to check this out before you choose and buy a bar for your scooter.
Bar design:
Design of the scooter bar. Overall, there are two types of scooter bars. One-piece and two-piece bars. A one-piece bar is made as being only part. This is smart for trick scooters as the strength of these scooter bars increases a lot. Two-piece bars are made of two parts, which opens up the possibility of, for example, adjusting the height of its bar, but also a weaker point on the scooter which makes it less effective for tricks.
Bar SCS:
If the bar for your scooter is made with the SCS compression system you have a very strong, but also slightly heavier scooter bar. This will make your scooter ideal for a little bit of each, but especially for tricks, as the strength will make sure your trick scooter can handle all the bumps and shocks that occur during the performance of your tricks.
Inner diameter:
The inner diameter of the bar has an effect on which compression system the bar fits. The inner diameter of the bar is either 28mm or 32mm. Inner diameter of 28mm fits IHC and some SCS compression systems. Inner diameter of 32mm can be found on an oversized bar, and fits HIC and some SCS compression systems.
A steel bar has an inner diameter of either 28mm or 32mm. An aluminum bar always has an inner diameter of 28mm.
Outer diameter:
The outer diameter of the bar matters which clamp fits the bar. The outer diameter of the bar is either 32mm or 35mm (oversized). Outer diameter of 32mm fits 32mm clamps and IHC, and in some cases SCS clamp (often requires a shim because most SCS clamps are designed for 35mm oversized). Outer diameter of 35mm is called an "oversized bar", and fits oversized (35mm) clamps and in most cases SCS clamps.
A steel bar has an outer diameter of either 32mm or 35mm (oversized). An aluminum bar always has an outer diameter of 35mm.
SCS Ready:
Indicates whether the bar has a wear (slot) in the bottom or not. A wear-free bar is "SCS-ready".
(If you want to use a bar with wear on your SCS clamp, you must buy a SCS bar adapter that fits the inner diameter of your bar)
